The Lap Pillow Meme

From TV Tropes: A good way to show the physical intimacy and trust which a couple have is to rest one's head on the other's lap. Usually, the man does the resting while the woman provides the lap, not only because of anatomical reasons but because the lap-owner is typically of a nurturing nature more associated with femininity. Bonus points if she's feeding him grapes or stroking his hair. In some cases this is done between people who are not necessarily lovers, to comfort someone who is weeping or injured.

Or, in the case of the meme: screw the rules, we'll do anything. Maybe they're tired and just found a good place to rest? Maybe both parties were asleep? Hard to tell. All we know is, someone's head is going to be on another person's lap. Shenanigans will ensue.

How this works:
→ Leave a comment with the usual information in the subject line: character name, fandom. Any preferences, including what you don't want, should be included as well.
→ Congratulations,whoever tags your character has their head on your character's lap!
→ Tag around. Please please tag around.
→ Have fun, and be excellent to each other!

[Preference for him providing the pillow but open to him relaxing on someone else's for a change.]

[ Voice testing, most likely to be the one with the head in his lap, but would happily be either. ]

[ It all started with an incident in which Doppo had fallen asleep during one of his sessions with Jakurai. He expected to have woken up in a medical bed but instead found himself in the doctor's lap. Many apologies were made by Doppo, naturally, until they've come to entertain the possibility that resting his head on Jakurai's lap is key to mend his sleep issues. And so begins Doppo's sessions with him basically taking a nap on Jakurai's lap while the other does other desk work.

Even if this isn't the first time he's done this, the salaryman always feels awkward about being in such close proximity, making such body contact that seems more intimate than a doctor and patient should be. Then again, they have clearly become more than just doctor patient. Having formed Matenrou with Hifumi, the three of them are practically like family.

So...it's fine right? Doppo still appears unsure as a brush from a lock of hair across his cheek wakes him. ]
